You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Volume =+L%28R%5E2+%2Acos%5E-1%28%28R-D%29%2FR%29-%28R-D%29%2A2RD%2Asqrt%282RD-D%5E2%29%29
where:
R is the radius of the cylinder.=36 in
D is the depth.=24 in
L is the length of the cylinder 96in
Plug the values and get the answer
=299.58 gallons
now we know volume , diameter
we can find height/depth
